238. Our Lady of Fatima
October 13, 1917 is reported to be the last of the Virgin Mary's 6 appearances to three shepherd children, Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto in Fatima, Portugal. The event was punctuated by what is known as the Fatima Miracle or Miracle of the Sun witnessed by 30,000 to possibly as many as 100,000 people, including quite a few skeptics. Angie Gillette, Dianne Estopinal and Edme Mendez, organizers of a public square Rosary commemorating the miracle, share the history of the event and what it means to them.
